If you are as big a fan of Silksoundbooks star audio book reader Jane Horrocks as we are, then here is some great news! The autumn season on BBC4 will feature 3 one-off films about the artistic careers of British female icons Margot Fonteyn, Gracie Fields and Enid Blyton.

Jane Horrocks will star in Gracie!, Nick Vivian's romantic comedy about Gracie Fields, the singer and comedienne from Rochdale who rose to fame in the Thirties – becoming the nation's darling and the highest-paid film actress in the world. Renowned for her "common touch", Gracie symbolised the indomitable spirit of Thirties Britain. Her mass appeal was unprecedented. Jane will sing a stunning repertoire of Gracie songs including Sally, Sing As We Go and I Never Cried So Much In All My Life. This is a programme we are definitely looking forward to watching.

Jane's singing and reading talents are put to good use in her two Silksoundbooks audiobooks - Sonnets from the Portuguese, a collection of forty-four love sonnets written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Nursery Rhymes, an exclusive collection of favourite childhood Nursery Rhymes. Two great audiobooks from silksoundbooks.com
